I think the most important part about selecing the college approriate for your wants and needs is to make sure that you visit the college. Once you are able to see what the campus is like with students on it, and how you would fit in to the student body, you will be able to get a gut feeling as to whether or not you believe you will fit into the environment. While all schools can look good on paper, it isn't until you are actually on the campus that you will be able to truly discover what the school is about. To make the most of the college experience, involvement is key. Once you feel as if you have a purpose on the campus, and that you are an integral part of the community, your sense of being will increase, and you will feel as if you make a difference. Being involved also allows you to meet people who may live outside your dorm, and to get involved wtih different things you never thought possible. Get out there and discover what is available to learn what your likes truly are- that is truly the purpose of college.
